Do I need to set up geo rules for the bar to work?

No. If you create a bar with no geo rules, it shows your default message to every visitor worldwide. Rules are optional — add them when you want to customize by country. Most users start with a universal bar and add geo-specific messages later.

What happens when a visitor dismisses the bar?

That depends on the dismiss mode you choose. Session: bar disappears until they close the tab. Duration: gone for a set number of hours. Forever: never comes back (stored in localStorage). Never: the bar is always visible and can't be dismissed. You can change the mode anytime.

Will the notification bar slow down my site?

No. The bar renders client-side after the page loads, so it doesn't block rendering or affect your Core Web Vitals. The script is under 5KB and loads asynchronously. Page speed scores are unaffected.

Can I style the bar to match my brand?

Yes. GeoBar ships with default styling that looks clean out of the box — background color, text color, font size, padding. You can override any of it with custom CSS in the dashboard. Most users stick with the defaults and just change colors.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Rules are optional — and that's the point

No geo rules? Your bar shows to everyone with your default styling and message. Add rules when you want country-specific copy. Start simple, get specific later.

Dismiss modes that respect your visitors

Session dismiss (gone until they close the tab), duration dismiss (gone for X hours), forever dismiss (never comes back), or never dismiss (always visible). You pick what fits.

A/B test your bar copy

Split traffic between two bar messages and find out which one drives more clicks. Built-in — no need to wire up Google Optimize or a separate testing tool.

Device targeting built in

Show a mobile app download bar to phone users and a desktop-specific promotion to laptop visitors. Combine device + geo rules for precision: "US visitors on mobile" is one rule.

Top or bottom — your call

Pin the bar to the top of the page or anchor it to the bottom. Both positions stick on scroll. Default styling included so it looks good out of the box, with full CSS override if you want control.

Works on any website in 60 seconds

Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, or plain HTML. Paste the GeoSwap script, create a bar in the dashboard, and it's live. No theme edits, no plugin conflicts.

Use cases

Built for real workflows

Free shipping thresholds by country

"Free shipping on orders over $50" for US visitors. "Free shipping over £40" for the UK. "Free shipping over €45" for the EU. One bar, three messages, zero confusion about local thresholds.

Regional store announcements

Holiday hours, warehouse delays, local events — show the announcement that matters to each region. Australian visitors don't need to know about your US Thanksgiving shipping cutoff.

Compliance and legal notices

GDPR notice bar for EU visitors. Cookie disclosure for California. Import duty warning for international shoppers. Automatic, targeted, always on — without cluttering the page for visitors who don't need it.

Localized promotions and flash sales

Run a Diwali sale bar for Indian visitors, a Black Friday bar for Americans, and a Singles' Day bar for visitors from China — simultaneously, from one dashboard, on the same page.
